I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this phlegm or mucus issue in my lungs. Its been more than a month now, and whenever I cough to spit it out, it just keeps coming back. The stuff I spit out is sticky and has some white in it. I havent seen a doctor about this yet, and Im kind of worried. Can you tell me what might be going on and what I should do about it?

I'm currently dealing with active tuberculosis and I'm on a treatment plan taking Combutol 800 in the morning and an Ambystryn injection in the evening. I'm a bit worried and wondering if this is the correct treatment for my condition. Could you share your thoughts or advice on this?
-It sounds like you're on the right treatment for active TB, as Combipack (Combutol) and Ambystryn (Amikacin) are commonly used. However, it's crucial to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-ups to ensure the treatment is effective. Stay

Im 5 months pregnant and I have scoliosis, which has damaged one of my lungs due to my spine's curvature. I had TB back in 2015 and started experiencing some coughing with mucus in December. After initial treatment, it didnt improve but got better on its own from January to February. Then in March, I had issues with mucus and breathing. My pulmonologist put me on Augment 625 in March, but it didnt help. After that, he prescribed a nebulizer with Duolin and Budesonide for 20 days, and that gave me a bit of relief. Recently, he prescribed Flutrol 400 inhaler and nebulizer urgently, but I'm coughing all the time now. Ive been told it might be COPD and old Kochs disease. Ive never smoked, so Im confused and a bit worried about being diagnosed with COPD. Can someone really have COPD without ever smoking? What could be causing my constant coughing?
do Pulmonary function test to confirm
